[sword-devel] Search for word in Sword

[Troy A. Griffitts]

We could possible enable an icu word division option in the search code. 
  This would be a very easy addition.  Maybe we could try it and you 
could let is know if it helps.


The web UI that we're hoping to work on ~March 15-April 15 is really 
just a UI concentric project.  Diatheke is a backend solution to the 
HTML/SWORD integration problem.  Diatheke doesn't really have any 
official UI.  I could be that Diatheke is used to provide the data for 
the new project-- not sure.  Hope that kindof makes sense.
